Clio 182 Tyres on Cup Suspension Option

[coopski]

Hi there Im new to this forum, but I wondered if anyone can help? Im waiting for a Clio 182 with the cup suspension pack option. Could anyone out there tell me the exact specifics of the tyres fitted with this option? I know they are Michelin Exalto 205/45 R16, but I would like to know:-

1) the speed rating?
2) the specific Michelin part number (left and right)?
3) how much these cost (fitted or loose)?

Do these differ from the tyres fitted to the standard 182 or not? I remember the bumpf detailing the cup suspension option mentions "tyre with stiffer sidewalls" but dont know if this is actually true.

All comments gratefully received - Thanks

Speed rating - W upto 168mph

Part Number, not really sure - Pilot EXALTO PE2 205/45 R16 83W

Cheapest ive found them is £ 98,60 a corner

With regards to the stiffer sidewalls, i think the non-cup wheels are only rated to 149mph... but i may be wrong.

Mine are V rated. I have CUP suspension as well.

Has been many discussions about these tyres, do a search.

mytyres have them for around £70.

Really? I always thought they were W rated. Ah well, makes them £25 a corner cheaper

83V for Cup tyres cos of the materials used to stiffen the side walls dont standup well to really high speeds, the w rated tyres dont have the stiffer side walls and there fore are less likely to blow out on you through material breakdown
